The Volkswagen Golf GTI Cup is a one-make race series run by Volkswagen Group Japan that showcases lightly modified GTI machines. Cars in the series use race essentials like 4-point harnesses, roll cages, and DSG boxes, giving them a genuine circuit presence. Colourful liveries and close competition make it a popular proving ground for both experienced drivers and newcomers to wheel-to-wheel racing.
The Tamiya 58410 uses the TT-01E chassis with targeted upgrades to improve durability and serviceability. A Parts and D Parts are now made from fiberglass-reinforced resin and are molded separately so common maintenance and repairs are easier and quicker.
Steering responsiveness is improved thanks to a revised linkage that adopts TA05 style steering posts, delivering crisper turn-in. The upper deck has been redesigned to raise chassis stiffness and the kit includes a transponder bracket so you can race lap-timed events with ease.
The GTI body is molded in lightweight polycarbonate for authentic contours and reduced weight. The kit is finished with silver 10-spoke wheels and a detailed decal sheet that lets you replicate race markings. Electronics in the kit include an ESC (TEU-101BK), a Type 540 motor, and installed LEDs for the front and rear light housings to enhance realism on track.
The Tamiya 58410 Volkswagen Golf GTI Cup Car is a solid option for newcomers and seasoned hobbyists alike, with a rugged platform and scope for tuning to suit casual track days or club racing.
